    Solargizer install question

    i picked up a solargizer IS-24-L this week off ebay & was wondering if it would be possible to wire it in to the 24v radio wiring in the back of my m1009. Don't much feel like drilling holes & permanently mounting something, would just like to do a quick-dirty & throw the cell up on the dash to...

    Source for quality replacement floormat

    Ehhh. Not worth it in this case. The floor's been dynamatted by the PO before they did the house carpeting. It's not worth fighting with. Just want a minimum fuss rubber floormat & go about my business

    Source for quality replacement floormat

    Yeah i bought an ACC brand off ebay & it just didn't fit the floorpan that great & getting all the bolt holes lined up didn't end well. I'm not really wanting to go thru that again, i'd pull a used mat 1st at this point.

    Source for quality replacement floormat

    Hey everyone. Looking to replace the house carpeting that someone put in my Blazer. Got it all cleaned out & started installing one of those aftermarket rubber floormats & it's just not fitting well & my lack of patience isn't helping things. Does anyone know if some company actually offers a...

    Stock trans is the TH400, obviously someone must have put the OD trans in there to offset the low geared axle swap.

    Fuel pump replacement time, got a hose question

    Thanks for that. I'd say great minds think alike, but you might not want to be associated with what's in my head. :p Couldn't find the Corvette S hose easily in-stock, many places had a lead time on shipping. Ordered one of those universal molded a few days ago, hopefully it'll do the job...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Got in a HW glowplug card tonight, so slapped it in. No more humming/buzzing underdash, but i do kinda wish i had set it to solid wait light vs flashing. Not sure i care enough to weasel under the dash again for it though. Also got in an Ebay suburban jack setup, so i have a passably stock...

    Fuel pump replacement time, got a hose question

    Noticed a small wet spot in the parking lot & my formed fuel hose is looking swollen & damp, so time to start the process. Ordered in the Delphi 906 pump & adapter plate gasket a few moments ago. Is the pre-formed 3/8 fuel hose available or do i HAVE to loop some straight hose around? If i...

    Crank, No start after new injectors... and other maladies.

    It's an 80 chevy but even saying THAT, no a burning smell when you try to start it is not normal. Unless you're talking from the exhaust? Perhaps you best specify where the smoke & burning is coming from. :p

    Replacement jack suggestions for M1009

    Hmm thanks for that suggestion. Since the stock jack mounts under the pass seat IIRC, i'd never even thought about using some underhood space. I ordered a newer sub/tahoe jack setup off ebay, will look into where i can find a place for it there.

    Replacement jack suggestions for M1009

    None of my Blazers had the stock jacks in them & 80s Chevy's aren't exactly common in the local junkyards nowadays. Does anyone have suggestion for good replacement jack setups? Something self-contained w/ case, etc to keep random bits from rolling around & making noise would be a nice bonus...

    M1009 Turns over wont start/ Not getting fuel out of thumb nut at fuel filter..

    since you know you don't have fuel @ the filter trace the fuel lines back from there. Look for cracking or wet spots that could indicate leak or air getting into the system. Stock it doesn't have a pump in the tank, the mechanical fuel pump is on the front passenger side of the engine. Do you...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Installed a GM GF647 fuel filter system along with new Gates barricade hoses to & from the housing. Took a bit to get it mounted since the bolt holes on the housing were a little ways off from the stock bracket mounting holes. Found the PO had run 5/16 hose all the way to injector pump &...
